Why I Invented My Games
I invented my treatment methods as a child protective services supervisor and clinical social worker in residential facilities. Partly for survival reasons, and partly for the challenge, I invented fast-paced games that used low-budget, recycled materials that sustain the interest of even the most hyperactive, difficult, multi-problem children, for example, those with ADHD, ODD, Conduct Disorder, and Reactive Attachment Disorder.

I drew upon all my training and experiences in social group work, corrections, behavioral psychology, and recreation to create my games. These games are tried and true because I have tested them with the toughest kids. They really work. Persons I have trained in different countries and cultures all report positive results too.
